.

2. Please send me a delivery receipt for this email.

.

which one is correct? Or any other options?

Answer 1

Please reply to confirm receipt of this e-mail.  Thanking you in advance for your confirmation.

Yours truly,

Name

Answer 2

the first one - most people would not know how to send an email receipt.  But I would make it easy and say "Please confirm receipt of this email by hitting reply and then send - thank you!"

Answer 3

If you're using outlook, there is an option under "options" to request a "read" receipt.  

It sends an email back to you that confirms the sender opened the email.
